Statement: a correct cost price per hour for man and machine leads to insight into the order and operating result. Experience shows that in practice the order and operating result almost never match. You can prevent this. MKG contains the BCO module for this purpose: budgeting, control, optimizing. In this webinar you will be introduced to BCO. In half an hour you will be taken through the steps you need to take in MKG to create a realistic budget and an executable operating plan.

Once BCO has been set up, you can start monitoring the budgets. The various BCO Dashboards serve this purpose. Budget control based on these dashboards is central to this article. In addition, a number of scenarios arising from the design of BCO are discussed.

The BCO Man-hours Monitoring dashboard can be used to monitor the extent to which the budgets set match the hours worked by your employees. See how productivity and return on hours have developed during the year and how they compare to what you have budgeted.

The BCO Coverage and Occupancy Monitoring dashboard can be used to monitor the extent to which the budgets set match the actual direct hours, the man-machine ratio and the coverage. This also makes it possible to monitor the extent to which the costs are covered by the direct hours realised. These are visible both graphically and in grids.

The purpose of the BCO Exploitation Plan dashboard is to gain insight into the setup of budgeting for operations in BCO. Based on the budgeted hours and the costs of the operations, the net price is compared to the price set for the operation.

The BCO Employee Plan dashboard provides insight into which employees are included in the BCO employee wage costs and provides an overview of the wage costs, social security costs and the net rate. In addition, some key figures are visible with regard to the selected employees.
